Quotes from CCKC 2002 letters received:
"I truly enjoyed the conference. It was a great beginning, and certainly
gave us inspiration for future efforts." - Rosemary T. Swetland,
Angelina College
"Thank you so much for your hard work
organizing and implementing this exciting weekend. I don't know when
I have had such an enriching experience, especially with regard to
the interaction with colleagues and concerts."
"This event was superbly organized, professionally
managed and executed with excellence. The sessions were pertinent and
well presented, providing community college keyboard faculty and students
the opportunity to interact with, learn from and share with their peers
in a manner consistent with the principles and practice of keyboard
pedagogy in an higher education setting. This was a refreshing improvement
over the sessions many college keyboard faculty have encountered
at other music conferences that often offer little more than adaptations
of sessions more appropriate for K-12 faculty."
"I cannot adequately express the importance of this event for community
college keyboard faculty throughout the state. Not only are opportunities
of this type rare for faculty at any level, they are especially so
for those in the community college setting." - Larry McCord,
McLennan Community College and Navarro College
